More from poila
02 Jun 2018
I entered into the Character Design Challenge really late before submission closure.
It's a Street Fighter themed art challenge.
So I made my own rendition of Dudley (special costume version) from Street Fighter IV.
Street Fighter (C) Capcom.
This fan-art by: poila.
Post-submission comment: Apparently, the admins/mods of CDChallenge on Facebook decide to not approve the submission. Based on their history of replies, they usually cite reasons like "deviating from the theme too much" and "not resembling their original looks". Which is incredibly arbitrary based on the winning or approved submissions of past and present entries which have broken the multiple rules that they set out. I have already emailed them via the official website to get their feedback proper as per guidelines, as I am sure that (1) this rendition is based on one of the SF4 DLC costumes, so in a sense is canonical or ties to the personality very strongly and distinctly, and (2) it resembles the original version of said character in the closest way possible. This submission took me a fair while to work on: 3-4 hours, research and corrections included. So it's quite disheartening that this happened. While I understand that "artistic liberties" can be taken, I took a more serious approach, and that the culmination of whatever I did in making this artwork should *not* warrant disqualification. I am more than willing to hear them out on their decision, but I am not holding my breath.
